See Our Updated Playground!
On Friday, April 14, Fr Ryan McCandless led a procession of students, staff, and parents to the MCS playground after the All-School Mass to bless the new playground! A huge “THANK YOU” goes to everyone who helped make this vision a reality, from the donors, the project volunteers, and the busniness who made this project come to life.
